I would like to think all breeders would spay and neuter their bengal kittens before they went to a new home to prevent additional litters. They usually withhold the registration paperwork and some owners don't care. Or will breed the cat and then provide the paperwork to the breeder.
There is an overpopulation of cats and things cannot get better until people spay and neuter their cats. Oh yes, kittens are truly adorable. But they grow into breeding adults. We have several stray cats in our neighborhood. Thankfully, they are now all fixed, but more will arrive at some point. People move and leave their pets, people drop off cats on the main road. It's a horrible problem. Thankfully, there are rescues out there, but not enough. I support one who has 200 cats, mainly elderly and FIV positive cats as well as cats with medical conditions. People just drop cats off at her front door hoping she will take them in and she does because she doesn't have the heart to turn them away. Shelters are always full. I absolutely love cats but have never had more than two at a time -- not because I wouldn't want a few dozen, but because I have a husband who doesn't like cats much, period!
